Livestream and Spotify rent vaulted chunks of space in Google’s building at 111 Eighth Ave. and even though they don’t get to share Google’s plush perks, like 24/7 snacks and video games, they do have access to some of the fastest Internet connections, biggest data centers, and best backup power in the city.

“A very large amount of Internet data flows through this building — the biggest amount of data in the Northeast, and in New York, for sure,” said Max Haot, CEO and co-founder of Livestream, a service that broadcasts video feeds through the Internet. Livestream moved into the space in 2010.

The 60 employees who work in Livestream’s 4,000 square feet of office space on the 15th floor can just look up at their ceiling to see a set of pipes that pump 20 percent of New York City’s Internet traffic.

Another advantage of Google’s offices is having data centers in the building, Haot said. Many New York companies outsource their data storage to server farms in New Jersey, but end up paying higher rates for the fiber connections that stretch across the Hudson.

“This is like the well where you can get the raw oil,” Haot said.

Around 90,000 square feet of the building is dedicated to humming arcades of Web servers, with Telx, Level 3 and Internap holding big shares of the floor space.

Spotify, a bandwidth-hungry service that sells music to share through the Web, also took a lease from Google in 2010 and employs 114 employees in 14,000 square feet of office space in the 2.9 million square-foot building. Google, which can carve out as much space as it wants, takes up about 500,000 square feet.

A longtime telecommunications hub, 111 Eighth Ave. has an area known colloquially as a “meet-me” room, where rivers of information from different Internet service providers meet.
